50 Best American Restaurants near Highlands

“We love this restaurant. It’s been a Highlands staple for longer than I’ve been around. Portion sizes are awesome Carla and her crew are wonderful. Dad eats there quite often and don’t sleep on the fish special. The fish nuggets are amazing and the perfect way to enjoy this type of fish. :)“

“Working in the area and have stopped here twice. Both times I've gotten the 3 Meat Plate and both times the food was outstanding as well as the service. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone that enjoys great BBQ. I'll be stopping back in before work as often as possible.“

“food is great“

“Thank you so much Tracy service was amazing“

“I highly recommend this Café. I ordered to go as I’m leaving state after breakfast, but the girl that helped me carry my drinks out was super sweet. Not being from Texas I was curious about everything on the land and she was very informative (I should’ve gotten her name). I ordered the Sycamore 2s which was 2 pancakes (choice of 1/2 waffle or 2 slices French toast), 2 eggs, and 2 pieces of bacon (choice of sausage also). I got my son an order of French toast, and a friend the brunch burger. Everything was AMAZING. The server mentioned Mondays they have a mimosa special (she told me exactly but I forget it). I like over medium eggs and this is the first place I’ve been that’s gotten my eggs PERFECT the first time around. It’s an adorable little café and there’s a wedding venue in the back. I highly recommend trying their food if you haven’t before. I took photos but it won’t let me add them to my review.“

“Simply the best!!! Best service!“

“Holy moly — everyone has been talking about this place and we love it! The burger is massive, CRINKLE CUT FRIES (the best!!), and a Pay It Forward Wall. ♥️ THIS is true Christianity…feeding people without question, just because they’re hungry. Teresa is a gem and it’s worth the drive down by the bridge. Absolutely delicious and the burger is MASSIVE. $43 for two burger & fries meals, two bottled drinks, and an extra cheeseburger/fries to Pay It Forward for someone who needs it. THIS is what community is about! Go get you a burger! Yummmm.“

“I took my buddy to Busta’s Burgers in Crosby, he enjoyed the food! I enjoyed my Hulk burger and onion rings….delicious food! I highly recommend“

“A very unique, fun experience!
It has an outside dog-friendly patio dining area.
There were only two things on the menu the day we went, chicken flautas and chicken mole served with rice and beans, but both were amazing!
Be aware that they only take cash or Zelle.
There is an actual small animal farm onsite, where the kids can go into a pen and pet goats, chickens, and look at a couple of cows. The pens were muddy when we were there because of recent rains, and smelled pretty bad, but large fans on the patio kept the patio smelling fine.
I'd go back.🤗“

“Hunter was an amazing server! He was very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and came out fresh and very quickly. The restaurant was very clean. I highly recommend Hungry Jack's and it was definitely worth the 30 minute frive!“

“Best food and service and the tarter sauce is the greatest. Will go back every chance we get.“

“OUR ORDER WAS WRONG! If you read that please keep reading. We didn't receive part of our order and instead of calling DoorDash and asking for a refund, after trying the food we did receive, we decided we wanted our complete order because EVERYTHING was so good. we asked for them to just bring us our fries that we were missing and instead the manager said if you come get it we well just replace everything and I am one happy customer to get to eat them AMAZING food tomorrow! Its a little on the higher end for our eating out budget but it is WORTH EVERY PENNY!“

“Food is decent. Server didn't have the best attitude. Overall I'm satisfied but I'm not coming back. When customers ask for additional info on food items, don't act like we're bothering you. Act as though it is your pleasure to give that information to us. Good luck. And this is basically a Mexican themed establishment. Not sure why the tag says American restaurant“

“My husband and I came to the Crosby location all the way from Hardin and we were extremely happy! Our waitress, Ashanti, was phenomenal! She was all over that restaurant taking care of her tables. She went above and beyond as an employee. She was so attentive and knowledgeable. We appreciated her so very much. The manager also came by and asked us how everything was. They are such hard workers and so so nice. The food waa great, thank you to the cooks. Thank y'all for everything!“

“Shawnee and Mirabel are two of the best servers they have. They both help each other with orders to ensure your food is always to you correctly and piping hot. They are fives in my book. I've been ordering pumpkin loaded pancakes for 3 months. No matter which one makes them they are always awesome.“

“Black Bear is a great place. We go weekly and always ask for Debbie Garza. we know we will get what we order and it will be great.“

“The food was cooked deliciously, but Denny's have started to cut the portion size on their meals. I'd rather pay more and get more, personally.

I ordered the T Bone steak with 2 sides. I'm diabetic, so my options were limited. I got broccoli and a side of eggs, because they are pretty much zero carbs. I substituted my dinner bread for a hamburger patty (unfortunately at an added charge). I asked for the steak as rare as they were allowed to serve it. It was delicious.

The lady who served me was very fast and friendly. The lobby was clean and I got my food quickly and at a reasonable price (though I'd have been willing to pay more for larger servings). Overall, I'd recommend this location and I will be back when I'm in the area again.“

“🥰We eat here once or twice weekly. The owner is extremely nice, and the food is very good. The prices are reasonable, and the portions are great. I usually have leftovers.“

“Had one of best breakfast and meatloaf my favorite“

“Mykala was my server and was very attentive. Although I didn’t enjoy the food, the drinks and the atmosphere were great.“

“Ken’s is the best place to go to for good comfort food. The meatloaf is my favorite!! ♥️“

“Love the rejuvenated Luby’s! The classic rock / 80’s music was fantastic and so much better than before. Some newer food items were much appreciated as well, like the smothered pork chops. Way better than Cracker Barrel’s version. The place is much brighter and I was told they are making more updates. Also, the people behind the food counter were courteous and just happy. Very different from the drab place it used to be before.“

“I have driven by for months and always wanted to go. We stopped by today and LOVED it. Super clean and c cute place. 5 stars“

“My hubby took me today to Brisket House on center st. and let me tell you it was very very good 😊 delicious 😋. We got the brisket sandwich with fries. The workers were great. We got plenty of food. For a minute I thought my husband was going to have to roll me out. 😂🤣 I also brought me home banana pudding. 💙♥️🤗 Definitely recommend.“

“My waiter Gary was amazing. He went above and beyond for us. We really appreciate it he made our night“

“This is a hit or miss and it falls on the cook. My last visit was really good. I ordered a 3 egg cheese omelet with a chicken melt. Server was great and this cook was really good. Now I will warn you its always busy and that says a lot for this waffle house. I visit when im in Baytown and enjoy the area..“

“todo delicioso..y buen servicio“

“Outlaw Rays is definitely one of my go to spots. I drive from the Galleria area at least once a week to hangout. The wings are AMAZING, Jordan had me try the cheesesteak pizza and I’m a fan of that as well. Jordan is an awesome bartender, super attentive, and always great conversation. Tamara is another favorite of mine there.“

“Me and my SO stopped here coming from Kemah headed back to Beaumont. The food was fresh and hot. The burgers are huge and seasoned perfectly. Chicken strips should be called chicken patties, lol. they were huge. The owner was nice and accommodating. Highly recommend. I visited the one on Hwy 146.“

“Awesome place to kick back“

“Everyone here is super welcoming I feel at home“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10 experience at Someburger!! I just want to give a huge shoutout to Stacy, the store manager. I had the pleasure of meeting her personally today, and she gave me and my family the absolute best service. She even helped me carry our food outside since I had my kids with me ❤️ such a kind and thoughtful gesture that meant a lot. Stacy is truly amazing, and you can tell she genuinely cares about her customers and her team. The food is always made fresh, tastes great, and today was no exception. We felt so welcome and taken care of from the moment we walked in. I’m beyond grateful that we have a place like this in our community. Thank you, Stacy, for your kindness and leadership 🫶🏻 you’re running a wonderful establishment!“

“Great service the wings were delicious!“

“Great bar and grill Love this place“

“Crawfish was the best we’ve had! Great service! Five stars!“

“We held my husband’s birthday here at TO 3 last weekend and the staff was so accommodating for a large group of 20. Our waitress Kathy was so sweet and so tentative. Our whole group had a really good time and enjoyed the food. They also had clear walls up and heaters around the patio so you could still enjoy the outside views. 10/10 👌“

“Cute spot. Ordered a tuna sandwich with side of pasta salad and it was very good. The lady taking my order was very helpful and friendly. I got an iced latte to go and it was good as well! Not too sweet!“

“All around fantastic experience. I was very surprised. This was the first time I've ever eaten at a restaurant associated with a golf course. I am not a golfer. The food was top-notch, and the service was fast and friendly. My diet Pepsi glass was always full. A business associate brought me here. I would have never found the place on my own. The dining room was clean, wide open with plenty of space, and provided a beautiful view of a golf course.“

“Please put what time the kitchen closes“

“We stopped by there for lunch after a doctors appointment. The ribeye was good, but in hindsight, I probably should’ve ordered the country fried chicken. My wife said it was really good. The staff was very friendly and the service was excellent“

“Great food amazing service! Muy bueno exelente servicio y comida authentica !!“
